Jose Mourinho's side have had a busy week

"They didn't play well in the Europa League, didn't go through convincingly, but the debate isn't about United's quality, it's about this 'campaign' against them. That's smart.

"But I don't buy the idea that players can't cope with the demands of three games a week."

Robbie Fowler believes Jose Mourinho will continue to pick his best team

He added: "It's about a balance, about giving the right sort of rest and recovery between the games, but come on, Manchester United are the richest club in the world, and they have a massive squad.

"Believe me, Mourinho will pick his best team for every game, and if someone is knackered he'll pick someone else.

"It's not the problem he makes out. But then I always said he's a smart manager."
